The United States local inspectors,.in the collision case between the steamer Potomac and the schooner Three Brothers, August 31, 1897, In which the schooner s sunk and Thos. Hart, her captain, was drowned, re red a decision yesterday, finding both vessels in fauit and revo’ ~ the license of John B. Douglas, pilot of the Potomac. The collision occurred in the “Cut-off” channel, near Seven-foot Knoll, and the inspectors find that Pilot Douglas, when he passed astearn of the unknown schooner, should have ported his helm and headed his steamer up to the north and northeast to close in his green light and show his red light, to indicate his intention to pass her, which would have complied with rule 20, to keep out of the way of sailing craft. As to the schooner, the inspectors find her captain should not, when close aboard of the steamer, have attempted to cross her bow, but should have continued his course. a Marriage Licenses.

FIGHT LACKS SNAP Ohio Republicans Uneasy Over Apathy of the Democrats. FEAR VOTERS WILL NOT TORN OUT Little Disaffection Among Dis- appointed. Aspirants for Office. TROUBLES OF THE ORATORS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CANTON, Ohio, Octoper 6, 1897. For many years the problem of an Ohio campalgn following a presidential election was simple. It was merely to estimate the natural reaction. The more sweeping the republican victory had been in the national campaign, the more nearly the factors pointed to a democratic solution. Where the occupant of the White House was an Ohio man, as has happencd, an extra allow- ance had to be made for personal disap- pointments and the always painful dis- covery that the number of office pegs limit- ed the number of hats which could be hung up. The buckeye politician has always taken this natural law of politics as an affront to himself. Though the rest of the country may be subject to harsh conditions, he has never been able to understand why there should not be places enough for the placemen of this favored state. In a year when this feeling is freshest upon him he is apt to show it by a languid interest in the campaign. Sometimes his languor de- \elops into pronounced indifference. He and his friends stay away from the polls and meditate on the ingratitude of par- ties. Canton is a good center from which. to judge how far these influences radiate in the present campaign. Having given the nation a President, Canton may be expect- ed to feel more than a common interest in the success of his administration. It may also be properly looked to for friends and neighbors who are ready to add their help toward making the administration a su cess by becoming parts of it. If the posi- tions are not numerous enough to gratify all these ambiticns or are not forthcoming promptly enough the extent to which the disappointment will show itself on election day may be gauged. Good Point of Observation. Beyond these matters of a nature per- sonal to the administration Canton is also @ good center frem which to judge the in- fluence of good crops and better times commercially ard industrially on the cam- paign. Right here in Stark county are farms, mines and’ manufactories which themselves give an index of what is going cn. Wayne county, which adjoins, used to be cited by Mr. Bizine as an illustration of the wealth that lay in wheat. Holmes county, close by, pastures sheep on its hillsides, and a ‘variation in its normal democratic mafority either up or down may always be accepted as a sign that a pollt- ical revolution has taken place. Demo- cratic farmers in Holmes county never vote the republican ticket, yet wkea wool fs fetching a high price ‘they sometimes help on a republican majority by forgetting to vote their own ticket. So far as I can make out the local condi- tions In the home of the President are less unfavorable than might be s county may rot do as well for the ticket as it did when Major McKinley was him- If a candidate. Political opponents who voted for him out of personal friendship are not going to support the republican ticket this year. Nor are violent partisans who exerted themselves in opposition be- cause the candidate was their towns’ going to be so active. So these elements neutralize each other. A few gold demo- crats make the failure to do something for currency reform an exeuse for their own lack of interest. Nevertheless, they will not vote the democratic ticket because free silver fs still the test of fealty. In the President's own political house- hold there is less grumbling than I had ex- pected to find. Major McKinley's tact in ce] conciliation is still exerted. If another presidential campaign were on Canton would turn itself into a big reception com- mittee, just as it did last year. The polti- cal pilgrims would be welcomed with the same heartiness and Canton would make the visiting stranger its guest. Ambitions That Failed. I could name off several score of good citizens whose expectations were confided to me during my stay in Canton last win- ter. Some expected to come to Washing- ten, but most of them had longing eves fixed on foreign candidates. Hardly a cne of these men has had his ambition gratified, yet they are not complaining or <alking about the ingratitude of the President. A few have changed their base to local politics. The majority, however, are pa- tiently waiting. The fact that nobody's neighbor has been named may have some- thing to do with the lack of bitterness that usually goes with deferred or defeated po- litical hopes. Where both Smith and Jones expect a consulate neither is apt to com- plain so long as the other doesn’t get it. I suppose before the administration reaches the end of its term President Mc- Kinley’s old congressional district will have its share of consular and other positions. It is simply stating a political condition to say that the large number of his former constituents who expect rewards are wait- ing cheerfully, and while waiting are not forgetting their party obligations. President Hayes, when tenanting the White House, had more trouble naming a postmaster at his home in Fremont n in selecting his cabinet. Months ago I heard that President McKinley would have to go through the same experience. The de- velopments have not been so distressing. None of the local federal appointments hove yet been filled. The present demo- cratic postmaster is an efficient one, and he will not be disturbed until his four years are up. It is understood, however, that the President has made a selection which is semi-personal in its nature. Mr. Frease, the probable postmaster, seems to be ai ceptable, though his good fortune is envied. There is some disaffection among the Grand Army veterans, who think Comrade doing when he represented the district in Congress. ‘They will probably be reconciled by recog- nition in other positions. Besides, until an appointment is actually made no dynamic force can explode, and the veterans are loyal to the ticket, whatever their indi- vidual disappointments. The President has appeals made to him im other than the McKinley should bestow the office on one | of their number, as he was in the habit of | Canton post office, but these he is able to refer to the representative in Congrese. The representative can be relied on to recommend the man the President is likely to want, yet when there is an embarrass- ment of riches the congressman must take the responsiblity of the selection. Experience of Campaign Speakers. I have been told by the campaign speak- ers who have been out in the country dis- tricts that they fina the feeling at Canton reflected in the ‘country. No pronounced lack of interest due to disappointment over office is found. The active workers are not as active as in a presidential year, but they are in evidence at the cross roads rallies. Gen. C. H. Grosvenor talks against civil service, and his words arouse enthusiasm, though the hearers know they are only empty words, and build no hopes of office on them.

No means of wiping out the law being at hand, they bear its “inflictions” with a fair degree of complacency and hope the gates will be opened for them outside the law. So they wait, and they will not forget to vote in November. It may surprise statesmen in Washing- ton to hear that the folks in this country do not care to hear tariff talk. Several of the campaign orators have confessed to me that their last year’s speeches, fur- bished up a trifle with trimmings about good times, do not strike the popular chord. The orators don’t understand it. The explanation is simple: The people of this section are vith the new tariff, and with its results. Being the elementary principles of protection and free trade. They do not attribute the de- ficiency in the world’s wheat s ipply to the Dingley law, but they t: ntage of that deficiency in a practi Yy, and give Dingley law its share of credit for the general improvement. The farmer is not srowling because he marketed his wheat at ninety cents instead of §1 a bushel. The wool growers are feeling just as good a3 the wheat raisers. It would not be nec- essary now to send buyers out through Holmes county to pay big pr s for sheep, as I am told was done in 18%), to show the immediate benefit of the McKinley law. Nor weuld Calvin S. Brice's brilliant scheme of supplying political peddlers with tinware to be offered the people at four times the market price as an illustration of the effect of that law work this year. Con- ditions are normal, and there is little room for hysterical polities. Wool Growers’ Greedinens. So long as Judge William Lawrence and David Harpster endure the Ohio wool grower will rever feel that he receives his full dues from any political party. A golden fleece clipped with silver shears would not exceed their measures of his need. But wool which fetches 19 and 20 cents a pound is not so bad. Last year one of the delegations which came to Canton brought a sheep's skull and pelt as an em- blem of the condition of sheep husbandry. ‘This year the emblem would be a wether symbolical of increase and a fleece. The wool grower, it is true, still mourns the de- crease in his flocks, but that is something he does not expect a national adminis- tration to cure In half a season. He is in good humor over the encouragement which the price of wool gives for the in- crease of the flocks. His good humor 1s helping to prevent any big slump in th vote which Major McKinley received. I am informed that the unwillingness of the people to lear tariff talk extends to én unreadiness to hear anti-silver talk. Their views have not changed. The verdict they gave last November would not be modified, but they can’t be made to think it is a live Issue in this campaign. The democratic orators are less frank, yet they confess a Lesitancy on the part of the iaasses. However, they stick valorously to it. Here, as in other parts of the state, the republicans would like the democrats to make a more aggressive fight. They need the friction of a sharp contest to make sure of their vote coming out. So far it has been lacking. This week the booming of big republican cannon Is to be heard all over’ the district, Senator Fair- banks In Canton, Knute Neison and Thurs- ton at other points. Phe broadside has to be fired in the air. ‘The enemy has thrown up no intrench- ments and has no artillery in sight. Never- theless the democrats hope to make a point on their legislative ticket. Some disaffection exists among republi- cans over one of the republican candidates. The Foraker men and the Hanna men are co-operating only on the surface. The local leaders tell the visitor otherwise, but they do not ceceive themselves. Canton has two men who have falth enough in derocratic success to pecome_ senutorial exndidates. One is John C. Welty, who s prominence in state affairs. He 13 willing to take election from a democratic legislature to fill out the remnant of John Sherman’s term, which would be wrested from Mark Hanna {f the republicans lose. Gen. I. R. Sherwood 1s more distinctively a free silver candidate. The free silver el- ements are not fused as solidly as they were a year ago. Coxey has some of the populists with him !n holding out against fusion with the democrats. CHAS. M. PEPPER. — CHOOSE THE STAGE. Ladies to Appear in Vaude- ville in New York. According to u report published in a New York paper, Miss Ethel Chase Sprague, daughter of Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, is going on the vaudeville stage in New York city. The announcement was also made that a Gaughter of Capt. Felix McCurley, United States navy, will aiso appear in vaudeville. Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague is a daughter of Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Ivstice Salmon P. Chase. It is the inten- tion of Miss Ethel, her daughter, to appear at Proctor’s 23d Street Theater on October 18 in a brief sketch called “The Black Butterfly” with Mr. E. J. Ratcliffe, the well-known actor, who was recently ar- rested on a charge of assaulting his wife, a daughter of Peter De Lacy, and was a! terward indicted for the alleged offens At the preliminary hearing he was released on bail, and since then it is understood he bas made peace with his wife. A few years ago, when the late Mrs. Will- iam C. Whitney was one of the social lead- ers in Washington, Miss Sprague attracted considerable attention by her daring cross- country riding at the fex hunts paper chases of the Chevy Chase Hunt Club. She had always chown an inclination for the stage, but her mother and her sisters, it is said, never approved of her adopting a theatrical career, and for a long time their wishes in the matter prevailed with her. She finally, however, became a pupil at a and short- ured an appearance in Mr. Society ago her friends were surprised to hear of her hasty marriage in San Francisco to De Frank Donaldson, a member of a well- known Baltimore family. Miss McCurley, it is stated, has also de- cided to make her debut at Proctor’s 23d Street Theater on October 18. Miss Mc- Curley will appear, under the stage name of Sylvia Lisle, in a musical sketch entitled “A Lessen in Love” with Mr. Charles Leonard Fletcher. Mirs McCurley is a member of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution and of the Philadelphia Colonial Dames. She is well krown in soclety, particularly in naval cir- cles in Washington, Richmond and Balti- more, as well as in Philadelphia, where her father was in command of the navy yard for three years previous to his death, a year ago last May. Several years ago, without her friends’ knowledge, she joined’a comic opera com- peny in the capacity of umderstudy, but after only a few appearances was induced by her father to return home. ————— OUR EXPORTS TO SPAIN. There Has Been a Falling Off Daring the Past Year. Consul General Bowen, in a report to the State Department on, the cpmmercial con- ditions in Spain, says it appears that while Spain's trade has notiget been affected by her military operations in'Cuba and the Philippine Islands, stil] there would be a very apparent decrease in the total expor- tations if the amount of supplies of all kinds sent out to the Spanish troops could be ascertained. Until the Cuban war is ended, he says, all statistics of Spain's trade must be accepted as somewhat mis- leading. The consul is informed that there is a considerably less demand for foreign gcods in Spain than a year ago, and that the trade outlook is not bright. United States exports to Spain consist chiefly of cotton, petroleum and staves, and in nor- nal times amount to about $15,000,000, but during the present year will amount to about $14,000,000. ‘The Spaniards care little for our agricultural implements and ma- chinery. Our wheat they consider too fine, and what of it they buy they mix with coarser Russian grades. They consider our bicycles the best in the world, but as they are more expensive than English, French and German makes, few are imported. Bicycling is not very popular in Spain, as Spanish women do not regard wheeling in keeping with propriety. Spain, the consul says, has a high pro- tective tariff, and it operates adversely to the United States, as we have no treaty with her according lower rates. Another serious question is that of exchange. Gold is at a premium of over 30 per cent. There is practically no gold circulation in Spain. Exchange being so high, the prices of food and of living are, of course, affected, and the general tendency now is to advance the prices of all commodities. ee AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Change in Linthicum Institute Cur- riculum—Other Current News. A change has been made in the curricu- lum of Linthicum Institute, which will open next Monday evening at 7 o'clock. At a recent meeting of the board of di- rectors it was decided to abolish the chem- istry and physic class, which heretofore has been held on every Friday evening of the school year, under the instruction of Prof. William Hedrick. The classes for this course of study were supplied with a well-equipped laboratory, which will be closed for the coming session. The mechanical and architectural draw- ing classes, which met on Wednesday even- ing, will be transferred to Friday evening of every week during the coming session. The mathematical department will still continue to be held Wednesday evenings, which will enable students to take both branches of study, which heretofore has been almost impossible, on account of both being held on the same night. The me- chanical and architectural drawing branch will be under the instruction of Mr. Wal- ter Petors.

The Big Twenty-Four-Page Edition Full of Good Reading Matter. Readers of The Star have a rich treat in store for them, for the big Saturday Star this week will be an unusually interesting number. From beginning to end it will be found full of readable articles, many of them by writers who are well known to local readers, others by writers whose names are less familiar, but whose articles will be found none the less entertaining. Stanley Weyman’s story, “Shrewsbury,” reaches its conclusion tomorrow, but the many thousands who have followed it with the closest attention will be glad to learn that The Star will commence next week the publication of another romantic serial, this time by Anthony Hope, one of the most popular novelists of the day. It is a story of love, intrigue and devoted gallan- try, entitled “Simon Dale.” Anthony Hope's mastery of witty and graceful dia- logue and his wonderful skill in the weav- ing of a dramatic tale are admirably dis- played in this new story of ingenious con- struction and sustained interest. Few stories, even of Mr. Hope’s, are more re- plete with incident, more rapid in move- ment, or deal more picturesquely with a sroup of historical characters than this of “Simon Dale.” The period is one peculiarly suitable to the author's genius. The hero moves in the romantic days of Charles I, and his fortunes are entangled with those of the dissolute Stuart, and of Louis XIV of France. So much for next week. Tomorrow The Star will contain an abundance of good fiction, special articles of timely interest, letters on fashions in New York and in Europe, on sports here and elsewhere, foot ball and the closing of the base ball season, end a letter from a special correspondent in London, in which he tells of the long strides that American business interests have taken of late in the English capital. Among the other features of importance may be mentioned the following: A THEATRICAL OASIS (Illustrated). A racy description of life in a hotel where actors and actresses pitch their tents for a week and then pull up stakes. ERAVE AND DEVOTED (illustrated). Some side lights on the character of Gen.

Igcobs, in Advertising Experience. The theory with a great number of ad- vertising men with whom I have corre- sponded during the past six months seems to be generally that those morning papers that depend mainly on the news stand sales are not so valuable for reaching the public as those papers that are delivered in the morning at homes. It must be remem- bered that the morning paper is stale by noon. Whether the circulaticn depends on street sales or paid delivery, it is very doubtful if the morning papers can com- pete with the evening papers in reaching the mass of women. Few women indeed will sit down in the morning and look for “bargains,” when the hotse reeds their attention. I find that about 60 per cent of the morning pa- pers delivered at the homes in this city are brought down town by the men, and read on the cars en route to their offices, and are rot brought home again in the evenitg. Out of some seventy-five gentle- men last month whom I met on the street cars in the morring reading the papers, about 60 per cent had the paper delivered at their resicences, and in not a singie in- stance was the paper carried home at night, ard 90 per cent of those questioned took their evening paper home, and said that their wives read these in the evening, when the day’s work was over. It was at this time that they read the advertise- ments, and if anything appealed to their bargain instincts they would plan a shop- Ping trip for the morrow. I believe few ladies, even of the class who employ serv- i Il be paid o nd checks will be st will 1 to November 1, 1897, both d holders who have of previous 4 tes inclusive hanged their add NOOLN FIRE INSURAN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, dend of two 2) ¥ THe The quarterly divi- per cent will be pald on t {tal stock of this company October 15, 1 Books transfer of stock toe me Monday, October 11, to Friday, Uctober 1 days inclusive. oc7-3t E_N.
